Hi Quanitea. Writing good study notes can make learning easier and help you do better on exams. The main idea is not to write down everything your teacher says, but to understand the information and organize it so it makes sense to you.
During the lecture, you should focus on listening for main ideas, examples, and important definitions instead of trying to write everything. Teachers often repeat or emphasize key points, these are the facts you want to write down. Watch for phrases like "this is important" or "remember this." You can also use shortcuts, abbreviations, or symbols to keep up while writing. Leave some space to add details later or mark things you don't fully understand so you can review them afterward.
After class, you should take time to review and improve your notes. Rewrite unclear sections in your own words, summarize long explanations, and organize points into lists or diagrams. This helps you pick out the most important facts and review them easily. Hope this helps. All the best.
